Marc Abraham:
“We cannot in good conscience ask the new winners, or the international journalists who cover the event, to travel to the US this year.”

Joe Capilano stands outdoors on grass with trees and foliage in the background. He wears a long light-coloured coat with fringed trim and a patterned belt, along with dark trousers and boots. A fur hat covers his head, and a medal is pinned to the left side of his chest. He faces the camera with a serious expression while holding an object in one hand.
Sahp-luk (Chief Joe Capilano) committed his life to helping his people.
He pushed the government to end the ban on potlatches and recognize First Nation land claims.
He took those concerns directly to King Edward VII.
This is his story.

I remember running the Longboat 10K "with" him on Toronto Island ~2010. I saw "with" because he pulled out way ahead of me within the first 3K.
Scientists and other experts were preparing an assessment of the health of nature in the US when Trump returned to the White House. He canceled the report. The researchers went ahead and compiled it on their own. This week, they released a 868-p draft for public comment and scientific review.
What should childhood be like?
A time of lullabies and laughter.

In 2026, colleges must teach students that this is not the end of the world. We must teach hope. Current undergraduates can barely remember a time before the threats of climate change and authoritarianism loomed to catastrophic scale. Since 2010, the future depicted in TV, books, and games has been dystopian or apocalyptic, so for our current students the end of the world feels more familiar and realistic than a future with hope. Now we are asking them to choose majors and life paths when the desirability, indeed the very existence, of whole sectors of employment are in question, due to the overwhelming promises of LLMs and machine learning. As young people hear daily that vocation after vocation may vanish into automation’s maw, and that democracy, liberty, land, sea, and sky are all in jeopardy, despair is growing. Despair is very emotionally tempting. It means freedom from the responsibility to shape the future. This is a terrifying turning point, but many generations before us have faced such turning points, and met them. We can offer our students perspective. Only a few dozen institutions on Earth are more than 900 years old, and the vast majority are universities. The university system is not a house of straw to buckle in this storm: We are the rocks that have sheltered the knowledge, hope, and truth through tumults which have toppled kingdoms while classrooms endured. We can endure this, and be a guiding light through it, but only by recentering, by teaching citizens, not workers; power, not PowerPoint; aspiration, not apocalypse. Despair is how we lose. The classroom is where we battle it. All other battles flow from here. Ada Palmer is an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago.
This, from Ada Palmer as part of The Chronicle's survey of 11 scholars on the future of higher ed, is what I needed to end the week.
